{ a visit to my home }

Since we're always preaching about different

things we like in homes we thought it

only fair that we let you into our own homes :)

Here's a little sneak peak at my

art deco 1920's home in Sydney's east...

I would describe my style as a mish mash

of eclectic / rustic / aztec / vintage...

I like collecting bits and bobs from flea markets

and vintage stores - however I am also a sucker for

anything hand painted or hand made.

I love bright fabrics, hand painted plates,

hand made timber furniture, mexican woven rugs and

embroidered cushions...

My favourite part of my home is my

new mexican rug (soon to be selling at skyparlour.com.au)

and my backyard/outdoor setting :)

: ARTIST OF THE WEEK :: Claire Desjardins

Claire Desjardins is passionate about contemporary abstract art--in particular,

the relationship between colour and form. Her work can be found in both private and

corporate collections, in North America, Europe and North Africa.

Claire comes from a long line of artists in her family, and embraces the multi-cultural experience,

traveling whenever she is able to. Much of her art-oriented family is spread out across Europe and in Quebec.

She grew up speaking both English and French and her personal mantra is that each of us is the maker of our

own destiny, and her bold, colourful work exudes this energy.

We are so in love with her bold acrylic artworks!

She has also recently been scouted

by anthropologie.com... very cool.
